Nasturtium flowers are an old-fashioned garden favorite due to their warm, bright colors, ease of growth, and peppery flavor for salads. The signature, lily-pad shaped leaves are easy to spot in the garden, whether they're being grown in container planters or directly in the ground, along borders and in mass plantings. Though its growth habits and requirements are the same as other nasturtiums, 'Alaska Mix' has variegated leaves, adding a delightful twist to a reliable summer annual.
